Jinja & the Source of the Nile
Adventure capital of East Africa
About this destination
Where the world's longest river leaves Lake Victoria — white-water rafting, bungee, quad biking and sunset Nile cruises.
Jinja sits where the Victoria Nile bursts out of Lake Victoria on its 6,650 km journey to the Mediterranean. A short boat ride marks the precise source, where John Hanning Speke ended his 1862 search.
Above and below Bujagali, the Nile delivers grade 5 white-water rafting through commercial sections that are as forgiving (or wild) as you choose. Add bungee over the river, quad biking through villages, kayaking, horseback rides and sunset cruises.
